Solved - MJW #1045 - Lancia Saloon by Murteira (Portugal)

I know this car has been posted on this site somewhere before. I don't believe it was a separate puzzle so for a point identify the make and coachbuilder for a point.

I have it listed as a 1948 Lancia Aurelia by Carrosserias Murteira of Spain.  I don't know if that's right or not.

Ray, you've almost cracked it - let me tell you I don't know the model or year of this Lancia so that's a plus from you.
The coachbuilder is Murteira but they are not Spanish......
LOCKED for you to reveal the correct country this coachbuilder comes from.

Sorry, but it is impossible that's an Aurelia, too long and than in 1948 Aurelia was'nt born yet. I suppose it to be an Astura or even a Dilambda looking to the wheels.

Yes I'd agree with you there.
As I said before I don't know the Lancia model or year..... :-\

Portugal?

Portugal it is.
It's not an Aurelia though and I don't know how certain of the year you are - certainly in the 1946-1950 period.
I only asked for the make and coachbuilder Ray so that earns you the point.

It's hard enough to find on the web (my only reference for Lancia) that I really don't know if the model is correct.  I tried to verify it but wasn't able to get anything but the year and coachbuilder.  Where I found those pieces, it was listed as an Aurelia.  But it was in Portuguese (I had a brain fart and thought it was Spanish) and I have a hard enough time reading French and German and a wee bit of Spanish.  When it comes to Italian or Portuguese, I'm in trouble....let alone any of the Cyrillic-based languages, although a friend just gave me a book on basic Russian grammar.  However, with my heart-disease-ravaged memory, by the time I get into the book a few pages, I'll have forgotten where I started.  Duh.  This, of course, is helped out a great deal by Google Translate, but the grammar structure really takes a beating with some languages.

So.  If you can help out with the correct model of this...thing...it would help both this site and my reference collection's accuracy.

Thanks for the point, MJW,

My pleasure Ray.

Can anyone positively identify the model and year?
